Cleantech

Founder, Investor and Entrepreneur: 15 years of deep technology background in Defense/Aerospace at Boeing Phantom Works. President of Gridlogix, a successful energy/internet of things start up. Adviser, executive and investor in numerous early stage companies. Experienced in wide range of technologies and start-ups. Good at dealing with difficult situations and avoiding them.
Through my career I have invested about $600m in early stage technology/ research, acquired several start ups, and successfully sold several companies. I also have had some solid failures which probably taught me more than the successes.

Karl loves startups and helping others avoid the mistakes he's made, has helped build a few companies, has done some M&A stuff and VCish investment work, gets irrationally excited about new technology, and occasionally skives off to go surfing.
